Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2019179944A1] The present invention provides an emergency power supply unit (1) for operating an emergency lighting means (6), preferably comprising at least one LED (6a); wherein the emergency power supply unit (1) comprises: - an energy storage unit (2), preferably a rechargeable battery; - a charging unit (3) comprising a first actively switched converter (3a) with at least a first switch (S1) and at least a first energy storage (L1), wherein the first actively switched converter (3a) is configured to charge the energy storage unit (2) with electrical energy from an external electrical energy source (7); - a driving unit (4) comprising a second actively switched converter (4a) with at least a second switch (S2) and at least a second energy storage (L2), wherein the second actively switched converter (4a) is configured to supply the emergency lighting means (6) with electrical energy from the energy storage unit (2); and - a control unit (5) configured to operate - the first actively switched converter (3a) based on feedback information fed back from the first actively switched converter (3a) and - the second actively switched converter (4a) based on feedback information fed back from the second actively switched converter (4a); Whereby the control unit (5) is configured to receive via a single first pin (P1) the feedback information fed back from the first actively switched converter (3a) and the feedback information fed back from the second actively switched converter (4a). In addition the invention provides an emergency lighting device and an operating method.
